The 28 is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the element silicon.
ALL silicon atoms have 14 protons in the nucleus, so we can turn this into an equation:
#protons + #neutrons = 28
14 + #neutrons = 28
#neutrons = 14
#protons = 14

Answer: 14 protons and  14 neutrons

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons = 14

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of protons + Number of neutrons = 28

14 + Number of neutrons = 28

Number of neutrons = 14

Thus there are 14 protons and  14 neutrons in ^{28}_{14}\textrm {Si}

Gee.  I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".

One thing is the scale.  Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing.  THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.

Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it. 
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth.  Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.

-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.

-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.

-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !  

I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness.  With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.

Same for its mass:  The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it.  A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral.  But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.

Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct option is: c. phospholipid      

Explanation:

Phospholipids, also known as glycerophospholipids, are the derivatives of fatty acids which is a major structural component of the cell membranes.

Phospholipid is the class of lipids that is composed of a <u>glycerol molecule that forms ester bonds with the two long-chain fatty acids and one phosphate group.</u>

<u>Therefore, Molecule A is a </u><u>phospholipid.</u>

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

In the Rutherford experiment, alpha particles were directed at the same spot on a thin gold foil.

As the alpha particles hit the foil, most of the alpha particles went through the foil. In Rutherford's interpretation, most of the particles went through because the atom consisted largely of empty space.

However, some of the alpha particles were deflected through large angles, in Rutherford's interpretation, the deflected alpha particles had hit the dense positive core of the atom which he called the nucleus.

This accounted for their scattering through large angles throughout the foil in all directions.

Ann [662]
₉₂U²³⁵ + ₀n¹ → ₅₄Xe¹⁴⁰ + ₃₈Sr⁹⁴ + 2 ₀n¹
Mass of reactants = 235.04393 + 1.008665 = 236.052595 amu
Mass of products = 139.92144 + 93.91523 + 2* (1.008665) = 235.854000 amu
Mass defect Δ m = 236.052595 - 235.854000 = 0.198 amu
Reaction energy released Q = Δ m * 931.5
                                              = 0.198 * 931.5 = 185 MeV
